New submission from Борис Верховский <boris.v...@gmail.com>:
re.compile('([-_.a-zA-Z0-9]+)') == re.compile(r'([-\w.]+)')
should return True because those are the same regex (\w is a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and
the underscore).
If you want to check if two regexes are identical you would compare the
original strings, before re.compile.
